What is ricotta?

Ricotta

Ricotta is a traditional mild cottage cheese. It is on the borderline of being a “cheese”, but is an important ingredient in much of Italy's cooking. It is a basin-shaped cheese, pure white and wet but not sticky. Ricotta is used as a filling for ravioli and many lasagna and cannelloni dishes. It can also be used for “sweet” dishes.
